NuNl'rED s TATEs CrIARLEs FLINT, or MENQMINEE, MICHIGAN.

PATENT,

KmnLING-BURNER. f

nee, in the county of Menominee and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kindling-Burners; and I do hereby declare thatthefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates `to new and useful improvements in oil burners, more particularly of a simple and portable type.

It is in general the object of my invention to simplify and otherwise improve the structure and to increase the efficiency of devices of this character.

t is more particularly vide a burner which may be inserted under the grate of a solid fuel stove for the purpose of kindling fuel therein, the burner being removable from `the stove upon completion of the kindling operation.

It is further my object to provide an arrangement whereby a burner of this character may be detachably secured to any suitable support.

With the above and other objects and adwhich will be apparent as my invention resides in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter more particularly described and defined by the appended claims. l

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a view, partly in side elevation and partly in section of an oil burner embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the burner head.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the modified form of the burner head. Y

eferring more particularlyv to the accompanying drawings, I provide a pipe casting 5 which forms the shank of the burner unit, and fitted in one end of this shank is a nipple 6 in which is screwed one end of an angle coupling 7, a valve plug 8 being secured in the other end of the coupling. This plug is provided with a flange 9 whereby the plug is secured in any suitable manner, as by welding or soldering, to the offset base portion 10 of a supply tank 11, this tank being provided with a filling opening 12 in one side which may be closed in any suitable manner. The' plug 8 is provided with a longitudinal bore 13 having my obj ect to pro- Specication of Letters Patent; Application led September 2, 1919.

Patented' Aug; 30, 1921. `serial Nog-321,152. 'f divergentbranches in the upper portio'n'of the plug, vand, a valve needle l''is engaged 1n said bore to control the through, and consequently ation of the burner.v` This valvef'needle e5;- tends vthrough the supplyV tank 11 and is threaded inA a sleeve 15A secured on the tank, the upperend of the needleYtr-irminating4 in a nger-.piece 16. A packing gland 17 is provided at the outer end of the sleeve 15.

e burner head of the device is formed by a flattened and upwardly directed terminal portion 18 of the shank casting 5, this terminal portion being cutaway at of' permitting suitable asbestos or other wick material 21 to be packed therein and in the shank pipe section 5, it being noted that it would be extremely difiicult otherwise to pack this materialV in the burner head in view of the oblong shape of its passageway as shown particularly in Fig. 2. For detachably securing. the burner to the edge portion of the draft or door-opening of the stove or any other suitable support, an attaching bracket is provided comprising a single length of heavy strap metal bent in U-shape and provided with aperthe intermediate portions of its legs, snugly receiving the shank pipe section 5, it being particularly noted that this shank pipe section is oval in cross section whereby to prevent relative rotation of the shank pipe section and bracket, to thus hold the tank 11 in raised position when the device is secured to a support member` A. clamping screw 24 is threaded in the end portion of one of the bracket legs.

An exceedingly simple and efficient burner device has thus been provided, which may be readily manipulated to kindle a solid fuel lire, or which may be readily secured to a convenient support to effect any emergency heating function.

While I have shown and ferred embodiment of be appreciated that various changes and modifications of structure may be employed within the scope of the appended claim, without departing in any manner from the spirit of my invention, for instance,I

described a premy invention, it will nflow vof oil therecontrol the oper-I OFFICE,

shown in rFig. 3, the burner head structure of the burner may be modified to provide a series of divergientlyl elongated burner passageways 25, this modified structure being particularly adapted to be used as an oil stove for heating utensils or the like.

What is claimed is:

A burner of the class described comprising a tubular shank member, a laterally disposed burner head carried at one end of the shank member and having a long narrow slot lfor receiving a at Wick, wick packing disposed in said `burner head and eX# tending into the adjacent portion of the shank member, one lside of the burner head being removable to permit the Workto be readily inserted, a supply tank carried by and upstanding from the other end of the member being oval in cross section, a U- shaped bracket member provided With apertures in the intermediate portions of its legs which snugly receive the shank member7 and a clamping screw threaded in the end portion of oneof the legs of the bracket member.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I havehereunto set my hand at Menorninee, in the coiinty o'l'Menominee and State of Michigan.
